In a FortiAnalyzer Fabric, devices can participate in a cluster or grouping if they meet specific compatibility criteria. Based on the outputs provided, let’s evaluate these criteria:
All three devices, FortiAnalyzer1, FortiAnalyzer2, and FortiAnalyzer3, are running version v7.4.1-build0238, which is the same across the board. This version alignment is crucial because FortiAnalyzer Fabric requires that devices run compatible firmware versions for seamless communication and management.
Platform Type and Configuration:
All three devices are configured as Standalone in the HA mode, which allows them to operate independently but does not restrict their participation in a FortiAnalyzer Fabric. Each device is also on the FAZVM64-KVM platform type, ensuring hardware compatibility.
Global Settings:
Key settings such as adm-mode, adm-status, and adom-mode are consistent across all devices (adm-mode: normal, adm-status: enable, adom-mode: normal), which aligns with requirements for fabric integration and role assignment flexibility.
Each device also has the log-forward-cache-size set, which is relevant for forwarding logs within a fabric environment.
Based on the above analysis, all devices (FortiAnalyzer1, FortiAnalyzer2, and FortiAnalyzer3) meet the requirements to be part of a FortiAnalyzer Fabric.

The FortiSOAR management extension is designed as an independent security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solution that integrates with other Fortinet products but requires its own dedicated device or virtual machine (VM) environment. FortiSOAR is not natively integrated as a container or service within FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager, and it operates separately to manage complex security workflows and incident responses across various platforms.
Let’s examine each option to determine the correct answer:
Option A: It requires a FortiManager configured to manage FortiGate
This is incorrect. FortiSOAR operates independently of FortiManager. While FortiSOAR can receive input or data from FortiGate (often managed by FortiManager), it does not require FortiManager to be part of its setup.
Option B: It runs as a docker container on FortiAnalyzer
This is incorrect. FortiSOAR does not run as a container within FortiAnalyzer. It requires its own dedicated environment, either as a physical device or a virtual machine, due to the resource requirements and specialized functions it performs.
Option C: It requires a dedicated FortiSOAR device or VM
This is correct. FortiSOAR is deployed as a standalone device or VM, which enables it to handle the intensive processing needed for orchestrating security operations, integrating with third-party tools, and automating responses across an organization’s security infrastructure.
Option D: It does not include a limited trial by default
This is incorrect. FortiSOAR installations may come with trial options or demos in specific scenarios, especially for evaluation purposes. This depends on licensing and deployment policies.

In FortiAnalyzer’s incident management system, analysts have the option to manually manage incidents, which includes attaching relevant reports to an incident for further investigation and documentation. This feature allows analysts to consolidate information, such as detailed reports on suspicious activity, into an incident record, providing a comprehensive view for incident response.
Let’s review the other options to clarify why they are incorrect:
* Option A: You can manually attach generated reports to incidents
* This is correct. FortiAnalyzer allows analysts to manually attach reports to incidents, which is beneficial for providing additional context, evidence, or analysis related to the incident. This functionality is part of the incident management process and helps streamline information for tracking and resolution.
* Option B: The status of the incident is always linked to the status of the attached event
* This is incorrect. The status of an incident on FortiAnalyzer is managed independently of the status of any attached events. An incident can contain multiple events, each with different statuses, but the incident itself is tracked separately.
* Option C: Severity incidents rated with the level High have an initial service-level agreement (SLA) response time of 1 hour
* This is incorrect. While incidents have severity levels, specific SLA response times are typically set according to the organization’s incident response policy, and FortiAnalyzer does not impose a default SLA response time of 1 hour for high-severity incidents.
* Option D: Incidents must be acknowledged before they can be analyzed
* This is incorrect. Incidents on FortiAnalyzer can be analyzed even if they are not yet acknowledged. Acknowledging an incident is often part of the workflow to mark it as being actively addressed, but it is not a prerequisite for analysis.
References: According to FortiAnalyzer documentation, analysts can attach reports to incidents manually, making option A correct. This feature enables better tracking and documentation within the incident management system on FortiAnalyzer.

The requirement here is to construct a SQL query that retrieves logs with specific fields, namely “Source IP” and “Destination Port,” for entries where the source IP address matches 10.0.1.10. The correct syntax is essential for selecting, filtering, ordering, and grouping the results as shown in the expected outcome.
Analysis of the Options:
Option A Explanation:
SELECT srcip AS “Source IP”, dstport AS “Destination Port”: This syntax selects srcip and dstport, renaming them to “Source IP” and “Destination Port” respectively in the output.
FROM $log: Specifies the log table as the data source.
WHERE $filter AND srcip = ‘10.0.1.10’: This line filters logs to only include entries with srcip equal to 10.0.1.10.
ORDER BY dstport DESC: Orders the results in descending order by dstport.
GROUP BY srcip, dstport: Groups results by srcip and dstport, which is valid SQL syntax.
This option meets all the requirements to get the expected results accurately.
Option B Explanation:
WHERE $filter AND Source IP != ‘10.0.1.10’: Uses != instead of =. This would exclude logs from the specified IP 10.0.1.10, which is contrary to the expected result.
Option C Explanation:
The ORDER BY clause appears before the FROM clause, which is incorrect syntax. SQL requires the FROM clause to follow the SELECT clause directly.
Option D Explanation:
The GROUP BY clause should follow the FROM clause. However, here, it’s located after WHERE, making it syntactically incorrect.
Conclusion:
Correct Answe r : A. Option A
This option aligns perfectly with standard SQL syntax and filters correctly for srcip = ‘10.0.1.10’, while ordering and grouping as required.

In FortiAnalyzer, event handlers can be configured to trigger specific notifications when an event matches defined criteria. These notifications are designed to alert administrators in real time about critical events.
* Option B – Send SNMP Trap:
* FortiAnalyzer supports sending SNMP traps as one of the notification methods when an event matches an event handler. This allows integration with SNMP-enabled networkmanagement systems, which can then trigger further alerts or actions based on the trap received.
* Conclusion:Correct.
* Option C – Send SMS Notification:
* FortiAnalyzer also supports SMS notifications, enabling alerts to be sent via SMS to predefined recipients. This method is useful for administrators who require immediate alerts but may not have access to email or other notification systems at all times.
* Conclusion:Correct.
* Option A – Send Alert through Fabric Connectors:
* While Fabric Connectors allow FortiAnalyzer to interact with other parts of the Security Fabric, they are primarily used for data sharing and automation rather than directly for sending alerts or notifications.
* Conclusion:Incorrect.
* Option D – Send Alert through FortiSIEM MEA:
* FortiSIEM integration allows for data sharing and further analysis within the Fortinet ecosystem, but it does not directly act as a notification method from FortiAnalyzer itself.
* Conclusion:Incorrect.
Conclusion:
* Correct Answer:B. Send SNMP trapandC. Send SMS notification
* These options represent valid notification methods for FortiAnalyzer’s event handler configuration.

* FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 documentation on event handler configuration and available notification methods.

O Even I the playbook status is Failed, individual tasks may have succeeded.

FortiAnalyzer manages and stores various types of logs, including local logs, across different ADOMs (Administrative Domains). Each type of log serves specific purposes, with some logs being ADOM-specific and others providing system-wide information.
* Option A – Local Logs Not Supported in FortiView:
* Local logs are indeed supported in FortiView. FortiView provides visibility and analytics for different log types across the system, including local logs, allowing users to view and analyze data efficiently.
* Conclusion:Incorrect.
* Option B – Playbook Logs for All ADOMs in the Root ADOM:
* FortiAnalyzer allows centralized viewing of playbook logs across all ADOMs from the root ADOM. This feature provides an overarching view of playbook executions, facilitating easier monitoring and management for administrators.
* Conclusion:Correct.
* Option C – Event Logs vs. Application Logs:
* Event Logsprovide information about system-wide events, such as login attempts, configuration changes, and other critical activities that impact the overall system. These logs apply across the FortiAnalyzer instance.
* Application Logsare more specific to individual ADOMs, capturing details that pertain to ADOM-specific applications and configurations.
* Conclusion:Correct.
* Option D – Event Logs Only in Root ADOM:
* Event logs are available across different ADOMs, not exclusively in the root ADOM. They capture system-wide events, but they can be accessed within specific ADOM contexts as needed.
* Conclusion:Incorrect.
Conclusion:
* Correct Answer:B. You can view playbook logs for all ADOMs in the root ADOMandC. Event logs show system-wide information, whereas application logs are ADOM specific.
* These answers correctly describe the characteristics and visibility of local logs within FortiAnalyzer.

In the exhibit, we see a playbook in FortiAnalyzer designed to retrieve events based on specific criteria, create an incident, and attach relevant data to that incident. The “Get Event” task configuration specifies filters to match any of the following conditions:
Severity = High
Event Type = Web Filter
Tag = Malware
Analysis of Events:
In the FortiAnalyzer Event Monitor list:
We need to identify events that meet any one of the specified conditions (since the filter is set to “Match Any Condition”).
Events Matching Criteria:
Severity = High:
There are two events with “High” severity, both with the “Event Type” IPS.
Event Type = Web Filter:
There are two events with the “Event Type” Web Filter. One has a “Medium” severity, and the other has a “Low” severity.
Tag = Malware:
There are two events tagged with “Malware,” both with the “Event Type” Antivirus and “Medium” severity.
After filtering based on these criteria, there are four distinct events:
Two from the “Severity = High” filter.
One from the “Event Type = Web Filter” filter.
One from the “Tag = Malware” filter.
Conclusion:
Correct Answe r : D. Four events will be added.
This answer matches the conditions set in the playbook filter configuration and the events listed in the Event Monitor.

In a FortiAnalyzer Fabric, devices can participate in a cluster or grouping if they meet specific compatibility criteria. Based on the outputs provided, let’s evaluate these criteria:
* Version Compatibility:
* All three devices, FortiAnalyzer1, FortiAnalyzer2, and FortiAnalyzer3, are runningversion v7.
4.1-build0238, which is the same across the board. This version alignment is crucial because FortiAnalyzer Fabric requires that devices run compatible firmware versions for seamless communication and management.
* Platform Type and Configuration:

Based on the above analysis,all devices(FortiAnalyzer1, FortiAnalyzer2, and FortiAnalyzer3) meet the requirements to be part of a FortiAnalyzer Fabric.
References: FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 documentation outlines that devices within a FortiAnalyzer Fabric should be on the same or compatible firmware versions and hardware platforms, and they must be configured for integration. Given that all devices match the version, platform, and mode criteria, they can all be part of the FortiAnalyzer Fabric.

To viewCompromised Hostson FortiAnalyzer, certain configurations need to be in place on both FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer. Compromised Host data on FortiAnalyzer relies on log information fromFortiGate to analyze threats and compromised activities effectively. Here’s why the selected answers are correct:
* Option A: Enable device detection on the FortiGate devices that are sending logs to FortiAnalyzer
* Enabling device detection on FortiGate allows it to recognize and log devices within the network, sending critical information about hosts that could be compromised. This is essential because FortiAnalyzer relies on these logs to determine which hosts may be at risk based on suspicious activities observed by FortiGate. This setting enables FortiGate to provide device-level insights, which FortiAnalyzer uses to populate the Compromised Hosts view.
* Option B: Enable web filtering in firewall policies on FortiGate devices, and make sure these logs are sent to FortiAnalyzer
* Web filtering is crucial in identifying potentially compromised hosts since it logs any access to malicious sites or blocked categories. FortiAnalyzer uses these web filter logs to detect suspicious or malicious web activity, which can indicate compromised hosts. By ensuring that FortiGate sends these web filtering logs to FortiAnalyzer, the administrator enables FortiAnalyzer to analyze and identify hosts engaging in risky behavior.
Let’s review the other options for clarity:
* Option C: Make sure all endpoints are reachable by FortiAnalyzer
* This is incorrect. FortiAnalyzer does not need direct access to all endpoints. Instead, it collects data indirectly from FortiGate logs. FortiGate devices are the ones that interact with endpoints and then forward relevant logs to FortiAnalyzer for analysis.
* Option D: Subscribe FortiAnalyzer to FortiGuard to keep its local threat database up to date
* Although subscribing to FortiGuard helps keep threat intelligence updated, it is not a requirement specifically to view compromised hosts. FortiAnalyzer primarily uses logs from FortiGate (such as web filtering and device detection) to detect compromised hosts.
References: According to FortiOS and FortiAnalyzer documentation, device detection on FortiGate and enabling web filtering logs are both recommended steps for populating the Compromised Hosts view on FortiAnalyzer. These logs provide insights into device behaviors and web activity, which are essential for identifying and tracking potentially compromised hosts.
